Community Outreach

The County of Hudson and the County of Essex in cooperation with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) and the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) recognize that community participation is an integral part of all stages of projects, therefore a comprehensive Public Involvement Action Plan (PIAP) has been developed for this project. An outreach program has been developed for this LCD phase of the project to include local officials, community stakeholders, agency representatives, and the general public in the transportation improvement development process.

Community Outreach Strategies include:

Public Involvement Action Plan (PIAP)
Local Officials Briefings
Community Stakeholder Meetings
Public Information Center Meetings
Project Specific Website
Project Information Handouts, Project Portfolios and Mailings
